Keurig OfficePRO Coffee Maker {Giveaway and Review}

by Aggies Kitchen on May 14, 2013

Full disclosure: Staples provided me with these items for review. The thoughts and opinions expressed are strictly my own. Feel free to shop their entire line of Keurig Coffee Makers and K-Cups online.

Keurig OfficePRO Coffee Maker Giveaway

Cutting back on caffeine is one of the (many) things you have to get used to when pregnant. Thankfully for me, I’ve been cutting back for years  – trying to stick to a nice cup or two first thing in the morning and no caffeine after lunch time (the older I get the more it affects me I guess), so it hasn’t been a huge shock to my system. What I do seem to be missing is that second cup I like to have when I return from dropping off the kids at school. Sometimes it’s a hot cup that I enjoy while sitting on my laptop catching up, sometimes I prepare it iced and sip it while folding laundry. Hot or cold, it’s a cup that I’ve been missing the last 5 months that’s for sure.

When Staples contacted me a few weeks ago to ask me if I wanted to review and host a giveaway of one of their Keurig coffee makers I got SO excited. I’ve been on the fence about buying one for us for a while now,  I haven’t been able to justify the splurge since our coffee pot seems to have been working just fine for us. I was very happy to be sent one to test out and believe me, so was my husband (the primary coffee maker of our household).

Setting up the Keurig OfficePRO was a breeze. I’m not one to handle reading directions very well but I got this baby brewing its first cup of coffee within minutes of opening the box. One of the things I was most excited about was sampling all these K Cup flavors I see constantly in the store. In addition to the ones that were sent to me to try out by Staples, my husband came home with a few of his own. So far, I’ve been enjoying brewing Emeril’s Big Easy Bold (dark roast) and Newman’s Special Decaf daily and I can’t wait to pick up some tea as well. Even my kids are have been enjoying a treat of hot chocolate some nights.

The best part about having a Keurig? There’s no more “did you set up the coffee?” exchange happening in sleepy voices late at night. Waking up to an easy cup of coffee has been truly enjoyable, it’s agreed by both my husband and I. We still have our work horse of a coffee pot set up for when we have several coffee drinkers over, and also to brew our special monthly coffee club coffee, but for the most part we’ve been using the Keurig daily (me, several times daily).  It’s been a treat to brew up a quick cup of decaf in the late afternoons too…something I never used to do because I didn’t want to brew a pot (even a small one) for just me.

And thanks to Staples, I’m excited to be able to share a coffee maker and some coffee with one of you!

Did all the moms out there have a great Mother’s Day? I know I did. My husband and kids treated me with a relaxing day that started with a delicious French toast and fresh fruit breakfast. The rest of the day was very low key and poolside, my favorite kind. I actually got a ton [...]

If you’ve been reading my blog a while, or follow me on any social media platform, or are my real life friend…then you probably already know that I’m obsessed with salads. I really love a good salad (and I really really appreciate a good salad at a restaurant too – those can be tricky to [...]

Fruity Greek Yogurt Smoothie

Fruity Greek Yogurt Smoothie | Aggie

  It’s hard to mess up a smoothie in my opinion. Once you get a basic formula down, and you’re using a blend of naturally sweet fruit with yogurt, milk or a little juice, then really the sky is the limit as far as combinations go. If you look in my freezer you could pretty [...]

Herbed Wild Rice Salad with Toasted Pine Nuts | Aggie

I really can’t believe we are in the month of May already. The kids have started their countdown until summer vacation starts, and to be honest so have I. It’s always bittersweet ending another school year and watching your kids grow up right before your eyes – but I truly look forward to not having [...]

Cauliflower Recipes | Aggie

(pictured: Spring Giardiniera) Is it me or is cauliflower popping up EVERYWHERE right now? Just this past few weeks, I think I’ve seen a new cauliflower recipe of some sort every other day. Cauliflower is one of those veggies that I think throws people for a loop, meaning, they buy it with intentions of trying [...]

Mini Cheddar-BBQ Turkey Meatloaf Muffins

Mini Cheddar BBQ Turkey Meatloaf Muffins | Aggie

I don’t make meatloaf – of any kind – very often, for no other reason other than it just doesn’t come to mind when I think of what to make for dinner. That’s probably because I didn’t really grow up eating meatloaf, so it doesn’t really fall into the everyday comfort food category for me. [...]

Garden Tour 2013

I’m keeping things simple in the garden this year. I’m sticking to what has been working for me well the last few years, and that’s herbs and tomatoes in containers. I find them so much easier to maintain as far as weeds and watering go, my kids really help in the watering department so it’s [...]

Meal Plan Fail Recovery: Roasted Vegetable Whole Wheat Pasta Salad

Roasted Vegetable Whole Wheat Pasta Salad | Aggie

I experienced a bit of a meal plan fail this week (nothing new, really). I had good intentions going into the week, stocking up the fridge with fresh fruits and veggies for lunches and dinners like I normally do, with a loose plan. But as the week went on, nothing I had planned sounded good [...]
